Tip for fixing upload image problem in 2.5 (4 posts)

Many people seem to be having problems uploading images in WP 2.5. I was experiencing the same issue (HTTP error would appear after upload). It appears that culprit was my hosting company's mod_security, which was blocking the flash uploader. Host was able to fix the problem by making a few changes to mod_security from their end.

If you're experiencing similar problems with upload, first read forum sticky on the subject and then you may want to contact your host about the mod_security issue.

You wouldn't happen to know what the host changed w/ the mod_security settings, do you? I use BlueHost and they directed me to my php.ini file, but they weren't sure what needed to be changed to make it work...

Update:
I tried some more 'solutions' - nothing's worked so far. However, my host offers SimpleScripts. So I used it to install WP 2.5.1 - works like a charm. I don't usually like 'automated' installs, but you can't argue with results. Literally less than 2 minutes to install and set up - even created the database/admin user.

So if anyone's having troubles with their flash file uploader on a fresh WP install & your host has SimpleScripts set up, go for it.
